Bible resources related to "Angela Merkel"

From Melvin Rhodes, WNP Senior Writer

While the American media focused primarily on what Michelle Obama wore and the hug she gave the Queen, many around the world perceived a significant change in the relationship between the EU and the US.

On the surface, the new US president seemed a great success, with thousands of people out to greet him wherever he went. But appearances, as they say, can be deceiving.

Two years ago France and Netherlands rejected the proposed European Constitution. This past weekend EU leaders ratified a new "Reform Treaty" to chart the unions future course. What it is exactly that they ratified will take weeks to unravel. But the information that is coming out indicates that what was rejected by voters two years ago has been put back in place by today's leaders and will not be put to the people for ratification.

Here is a summary of what we  know:

The US intent to deploy a missile defense shield in eastern Europe is beginning to show signs of creating concern among European leaders.

The United States intends to deploy missiles in Poland and part of a radar system in the Czech Republic to help counter a possible threat of long-range missile attacks. US officials have said the shield would counter threats from what it calls "rogue states" such as Iran and would not pose a threat to Moscow.
